Django Watchman Example

That example project shows how to use the watchman reloader into a dockerized django app.

To start the server and follow the container logs, run:

docker-compose build
docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f

If you read something like:

Watching for file changes with StatReloader

Try with a higher value for the DJANGO_WATCHMAN_TIMEOUT variable in the docker-compose.yml file.

There's also a .watchmanconfig file like that:

{
 "ignore_dirs": [".git", ".idea", "venv"]
}

If you want configure watchman to ignore some folder, just add that folder to the ignore_dirs list.
